Comfort Pasta Dish

Christmas has come and gone this year in a flurry. Parties, friends, gifts, acts of kindness and good will to all men. Wonderful things packed in tightly together.

After all this, I need comfort food and a long winter’s nap. For me, a good pasta dish is equivalent to taking a Valium. It soothes the mind and body.

Greek Inspired Shrimp Pasta

Strands of steamy carbs caressed with garlic-cream sauce. What could possibly be more appealing?

Maybe the addition of some seafood, feta cheese, tomatoes, and olives…

Greek Linguine Pasta Ingredients:

• Dried Pasta – I used linguini
• Olive Oil
• Butter
• Garlic – Freshly minced
• Peeled Raw Shrimp – The bigger the better
• All-Purpose Flour – Or a gluten-free flour substitute
• White Wine
• Heavy Cream – Just a little goes a long way, for an ultra-silky texture
• Grape Tomatoes
• Pitted Kalamata Olives
• Baby Spinach – Or arugula
• Crumbled Feta Cheese
• Salt and pepper

How To Make This Greek Shrimp Scampi:

1. Boil some salted water and cook your linguine noodles as directed on the box. Then drain the noodles and set them aside. 
2. In a medium saute pan, add some oil and butter. Then in a separate bowl sprinkle flour over the shrimp. Once the butter is melted, add the shrimp and garlic to the saute pan. 
3. Cook the shrimp and garlic for one minute before adding the cream and the wine. Mix it all together and let that cook for another minute before adding the olives and tomatoes. Stir it all together and let it cook for another minute or two. 
4. Lastly, add in the drained pasta and spinach leaves. Cook until the spinach has wilted down. Season the dish, but be careful because the olives and feta cheese are very salty already. 
5. Spoon into your serving dish and sprinkle with feta cheese and serve!

Frequently Asked Questions: 

What does scampi mean? What is Scampi?

Scampi is another term used for large shrimp or prawns, especially when cooked in butter. 

How can I thicken the scampi sauce?

Adding cold butter to the pan with the wine will thicken the sauce as it melts in. You can also coat the shrimp with a heavier coating of flour to thicken the sauce.

Do you have to devein the shrimp?

If you want to avoid eating the shrimp’s digestive track, then I would suggest deveining the shrimp.

However, you can find peeled, deveined raw shrimp at most major grocery chains.  

Is This Greek Pasta A Good Leftover Dish?

Actually, yes! This pasta will hold up for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Rewarm it in a large skillet or in the microwave.
